Answer:

The correct answer is 24

Explanation:

To solve this math problem, you will need to divide 20.40 with 1 (1 is 100% as a decimal) and 0.15 (0.15 is 15% as a decimal).

--


20.40 ÷
(1-0.15)

--

First, subtract 1 and 0.15


1-0.15=0.85

Next, divide 20.40 and 0.85


20.40 ÷
0.85 = 24

--

Therefore, the final product of this math problem is 24
